Should you be Seeing a Doctor of Chiropractic?
Headaches, back pain, numbness, tingling, and other health problems can often be traced to the spine.
Many things can cause the moving bones of the spine to lose their normal motion or position. This can irritate or choke the sensitive nerves that branch off the spinal cord to service the organs and tissues of your body. Many spinal problems can cause postural changes. Take a few moments to check a love one. If you discover problems encourage them to seek a professional chiropractic examination.
TRY THIS SIMPLE TEST
Have adults or children being tested stand on a hard, flat surface. Have them close their eyes and "march in place" 2 OR 3 steps and them stop.
With their eyes still closed have them nod their head 2 or 3 times, as if they were looking at the floor and them the ceiling, stopping where they feel comfortable.
With their eyes closed, examine their posture. From the front, all 9 test points should line up. If they are not in alignment, schedule a chiropractic examination today.
Still with their eyes closed, test their posture from the side. There are 4 points that should line up. Again, if these points are not in alignment, seek a thorough chiropractic examination.
A low shoulder is a common postural deviation that may be an indication of a spinal malfunction with possible nervous system involvement.
A common indicator of spinal stress is a head leaning too far forward. This puts wear and tear on the spine leading to degenerative changes.
Frequently, uneven shoe wear indicates some type of spinal imbalance. Examine a pair of shoes for unusual sign of wear.
Often unequal pant length or an uneven skirt hemline can indicate a low hip or some other spinal problem
If you detect possible problem, schedule a chiropractic examination. Spinal problems rarely get better ont heir own often get worse with time.
